I residents GEORGE WASHINGTON CUSTIS LEE, LL. D., 1897 • • President Emeritus GEORGE HUTCHESON DENNY, Ph. D., 1901 President EORGE HUTCHESON DENNY was born in Hanover County, Virginia, December 3, 1870. His father was Rev. Geo. H. Denny, a Presbyterian minister. He received iiis high school education in private schools in his native county. In 1887 he entered Hampden-Sidney College and distinguished himself during his entire course, receiving his A. B. in i8gi. He was appointed fellow in Latin, Greek and Mathematics for the session of 1891-1892. In June, 1892, he obtained his M. A. degree. He was offered and accepted the position of assistant master at Pantops Academy, which he occupied from 1892 to 1896. During this time he devoted himself assiduously to graduate work in Latin and Greek at the University of Virginia, and in 1897 he received his Doctor ' s degree. He was im- mediately tendered the chair of Latin and German at his alma-mater, Hampden- Sidney, which he filled till 1899. On the resignation of Prof. Fay he was called to the chair of Latin at Washington and Lee. He made such a record for himself while here that on Prof. Tucker ' s resignation in June, 1901, as Acting President, Dr. Denny was chosen to succeed him. His ceaseless energy and untiring strength did much to increase our attendance this year. In every way he devoted himself entirely to the upbuilding of the University. When the Constitu- tional Convention, during the past summer, was considering a reduction of the interest paid on the old canal bonds, which gift from Washington formed our first substantial endowment. Dr. Denny was on hand and effectually opposed it. When the Trustees met on last October to elect a President the natural choice was Prof. Denny. Their wisdom in such a selection has been amply verified. Through his efforts a large part of the Wilson Memorial Fund was raised. At his inauguration in June there will be a large congregation of scholars from all over our country. We predict for him a widespread success and an ever-increasing upbuilding and expansion of our Alma-Mater. 15
